Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bengals would have aced it. Ben Sinnott at pick No. 116 is 29 spots clear of where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Guyton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 18 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They let Tyler Guyton come to them and pounced at pick 49. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 16 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in slot 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
